Well, she liked to have a good time, and I liked to have a good time,
so that was pretty much matches and gasoline.
Didn't try to over-analyze the whole thing, really.

OMG - Weeping clearly told us that Johnny Cash was Satanic a while back, but she totally forgot about Charlie Daniels!

What, you guys are giving up? We've just only begun on page seven! And it's not like anyone said they had to be nine FULL pages. We just have to fill this, the next one, and put at least one post onto the page following that. We are so close. The end is near! Just keep up the fine fight and keep your eyes on the prize.

BTW, Terry your posted wording here is quite funny:
All the myths of the world's end have no logical basis.
No shit, sherlock! If they had had any logical basis there would not have been any more world.
Well, except, I guess, if anybody is still waiting on 2012...

The few brothers or sisters I've talk to about 1975 as a "no show" all have the same reaction.
Which is to say...they have NO SPECIFIC RECALL of any feelings, thoughts or emotions!
But at the time - 1970 up to 1975, to (publicly) deny the likelyhood would have been viewed as an extreme form of spiritual weakness by the JWs.
I was there and I was an elder. No, I did not believe it - just kept my mouth shut.
Even the gung-ho elders quit pumping it up about 1974 and started trying to minimize the expectations with that last-minute "we don't know when Eve was created" B.S.

JW Magistrate?
by GromitSK ini friend of mine told me today that her son has applied to become a magistrate (in the uk).
magistrates have to swear two oaths: an oath of allegiance and a judicial oath but apparently he has sought permission and has been told this is ok. is that right?.

Maybe this is approved in the U.K. but not in Malawi?

One big difference is that only maybe 10% (if that) of the 2012 people think that is REALLY the end of the world.
But probably 90% of the JWs believed that 1975 was the big A - until they lived through and after it for about 3 to 5 years.

Do you remember the moment that you stopped believing that it was "The Truth"?
by freeflyingfaerie inwas there one incident or epiphany that struck you hard?
or was it a slow...gradual awakening (no pun)?.
my coming out of the jw coma (as i like to call it) began at a family rendezvous in the beautiful florida gulf coast.

Awildflower - thanks.
My point was that no single kingdom hall or any assembly ever had segregated facilities to my knowledge. It just sort of turned out that way in the 1960s for the one black congregation because of geographics. No WT rules whatsoever.
We should note that black brothers came to white congregations to give the hour talk, and vice versa.
When I went to pioneer in Clinton, Oklahoma in 1968 the congregation was integrated because there was only one in this small town.
So, the legend of "segregated congregations" in OKC was not really true in my experience.

Sylvia when I first moved to Okc six years ago the black "brothers" in my hall were telling me that the KH used to be segregated here. I was shocked! I mean I know about segregation but you'd think in the "True Org" that wouldn't be the case but they swore it was. Is that true?
Awildflower - if you mean Oklahoma City, when I was a member there in the 1960s and 1970s there was definately a black congregation there in the Northeast and about 6 or 7 white congregations elsewhere. There was no specific rule, but everybody pretty much stayed on their own side of the invisible line - I always took it to be as much geographic as anything.
For what it is worth, the black congregation always met with the whites at the circuit assembly so that was integrated. The black congregation also had a baptismal pool built underneath the stage (they had a removable cover over it) and this was where everybody was baptized for a long time up until my parents built an inground swimming pool in our back yard on Council Rd.
